The battle between Azur Lane and Red Axis continues. On one side, Azur Lane plans to keep fighting Red Axis and forcing them to be unable to escape. As for the Red Axis, they will stubbornly continue to fight on despite their weakened state. But that plan will change soon enough...



[Hiryuu]: "They're not willing to let us slip away freely are they?"


[Soryuu]: "And unfortunately we will not be able to take them head on."


[Hiryuu]: "Then may I suggest that I be the one to pull Azur Lane away. Please sister, command the retreat." She said, willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good of her comrades.


[Soryuu]: "No, I can't just-."


[Zuikaku]: "No, don't." She steps in.


[Soryuu/Hiryuu]: "Huh?!"


[Zuikaku]: "I will be the rear guard." She announced/declared. "And I won't take no for an answer."


[Shoukaku]: "Zuikaku?!"


[Hiryuu]: "As your elder, I can't allow you to do that."


[Shoukaku]: "This isn't a responsibility you should take on." She added.


[Zuikaku]: "I know how she feels(Kaga). And so do you. I like to think sisters are special... I can't imagine ever losing you."


[Shoukaku]: "Zuikaku..."


[Zuikaku]: "I in no doubt would break down too."



It was then, her dear big sister, Shoukaku, understood what her dear little sister was trying to say. To the big sister, it's as if she's watching her little sister grow up and maturing right before her very eyes...



[Shoukaku]: "You don't have to worry about that. Because your sister will always be by your side."


[Zuikaku]: "Shoukaku-Nee..."


[???]: "Then if it isn't too much trouble. I hope you wouldn't mind if I joined you."



Another has decided to step up. It was Taihou...



[Zuikaku]: "Taihou!"
